Survival

“There are worlds out there where the sky is burning. Where the seas sleep, and the rivers dream. People made of smoke and cities made of song. Somewhere there’s danger, somewhere there’s injustice, and somewhere else the tea’s getting cold. Come on, Ace, we’ve got work to do.”

Survival part 3, thirty-five years tonight.

Joy To The World

As well as announcing a new series and naming the new companion (Belinda Chandra... related to Rani?) we got a four-minute-ish pre-credits for the Christmas special Joy To The World introduced by Joy herself Nicola Coughlan.

The War Between The Land And The Sea

The Doctor Who panel at San Diego Comic-Con announced The War Between The Land And The Sea, a five-episode spinoff starring Jemma Redgrave as Kate and Alexander Devrient as Ibrahim as well as Russell Tovey and Gugu Mbatha-Raw... and Sea Devils.

And we did get three episodes in a row on at the same time. But come on.

Empire Of Death

Empire Of Death (6.40 pm)

Do you have the spoons to save all existence?

Ah, it’s a bit The Mummy (2017) with the ancient Egyptian adversary god loosing a killer dust storm in London, but mostly...

Rogue

Rogue (6:45)

Second of the heavily promoted and spoiled episode, bounces along much as expected and I absolutely don’t mind.

Kind of annoyed that after dropping a D&D reference they called the Chuldur plan cosplay and not, more correctly, LARP.

Delighted otherwise.

(Yes it’s very The Girl In The Fireplace, so?)

Dot And Bubble

Dot And Bubble (6.50 p.m.)

Kids these days with their phones and their Snapchats and their dance videos... And their circles they don’t let other people in... Oh.

73 Yards

73 Yards (6.50 p.m.)

A Doctor-lite episode!

Also the second in a row that hinges on the Doctor putting his foot in it.

Otherwise quite different.
